episode 38
…
“You’re distracting me.”
“Hm?” Abena looked up at Tobi. They were
both sitting on the three seater couch; he
was working, as usual, on his laptop, while
she was trying to focus on the movie she
was watching. But she kept on sneaking
glances at Tobi, imagining things she would
never admit to. She shook the thoughts
away from her head.
Pregnancy hormones.
“I said, you’re distracting me.” He said
again.
“How?”
“Well you can’t sit there wearing a pair of
shorts and showing off your sexy looking
legs and expect me to concentrate on the
work I’m doing.” He said. His eyes flickered
towards her and back to the laptop screen.
With a smirk plastered across her face, and
a sudden boost of confidence, she removed
his laptop carefully from his lap, and placed
it on the centre table.
He opened his mouth to protest, but before
he could utter a word, she sat on his lap,
straddling him.
Their bodies were dangerously close, and
the only thing separating them, was her
baby bump.
“Abena.” He whispered in a husky voice that
caused her confidence to falter. She was
afraid that her voice would fail her, so she
hummed in reply instead.
“You have no idea how much I’ve wanted
this.” He leaned closer to her, his lips on
her ear, and her body shivered in
excitement.
He placed a kiss on her neck, and trailed
down, placing feather like kisses as he went.
He looked up and smirked at her. Her gaze
dropped to his lips and she licked her lips in
anticipation.
“You drive me crazy.” He said and before
she could get her brain to work again, he
leaned in and kissed her. Softly at first,
teasing her, enjoying the feeling that came
with each second.
She groaned at how slow he was, and felt
him smile against her lips. His tongue went
deeper, caressing hers, and all her defences
broke down one by one. She couldn’t deny
that she was enjoying it. He nibbled on her
lower lip gently, and earned a small moan,
and then he went on to kiss her again.
“Abena.”
Abena tried to focus on the kiss, but how
was he kissing her and talking at the same
time?
“Abena.”
The voice was more impatient, and a hand
tapped hers, trying to bring her back into
reality.
She grumbled some incoherent words and
went back to her kiss.
“For the love of God, wake up.” She heard
the voice again, and the hand tapped her
harder.
“Go away, you’re interrupting the kiss.” She
snapped and heard Tobi chuckle beside her.
Her eyes widened in realization and she
turned around slowly, and saw the Greek
god himself, laughing at her, mocking her
with his eyes no doubt.
“The kiss huh? And who was the lucky guy?”
He said in between his laughter.
“Definitely not you. Go away Tobi.” She said
throwing a pillow at him.
He dodged it and laughed harder.
“What do you want?” She sat up from her
bed and looked at him, folding her arms
against her chest and trying not to ogle the
sight that was before her.
“You’ve missed your appointment with the
doctor today.” He smiled.
“Oh my God! Why didn’t you wake me up?”
She jumped out of her bed and towards her
closet, looking for something to wear.

episode 39
“Calm down jare. I own the hospital,
remember?” He boasted cockily.
“How can I ever forget? You never fail to
remind me every time something like this
comes up.” She said, with a hint of
sarcasm.
“Anyway.” He rolled his eyes at her and
continued. “We moved it to one p.m. So get
ready and come and have breakfast. I got
the cook to come in and make us akara and
ogi. I’ll be waiting.” He said before standing
up and walking out of her room.
…
Abena walked down the stairs, her stomach
grumbling at the sight of the akara. She
could smell the aroma from her room.
“Are you ogling me or the food?” Tobi said,
breaking her thoughts.
Both, she wanted to say, but instead, she
rolled her eyes and walked towards the
table, stuffing her mouth with one.
“Good to know you observe table manners.”
Tobi said sarcastically, his nose scrunched
in irritation.
“Whatever.” She said while eating another
one and then she added sugar and milk to
her ogi. She sat down and continued eating.
“What happened to you this morning?” He
asked.
Abena’s mind went to the dream she had,
and the butterflies returned. Trying not to
appear nervous, she lifted an eyebrow at
him with the best poker face she could
manage. “What are you talking about?”
“You woke up late. You never wake up late.”
He pointed out, obviously oblivious to her
nervousness.
“Oh.” Memories of last night flooded her
mind. The sounds they made in the other
room. She had cried until she couldn’t cry
anymore, then she slept off, hugging her
pillow and whimpering.
“You were too loud.” She snapped, suddenly
angry at him, and that lucky model he
brought home the previous night.
“Who?” He gave an amused smirk, he
obviously knew what she was referring to.
“You and that bimbo of yours. You guys
were too loud.” She looked down at her
food, trying to control the anger that burned
in her.
Why was she angry anyway? They weren’t
together, he didn’t mean anything to her.
At least that was what she told herself.
“Sorry. I should have taken it to another
room far from yours.” He said, his
expression softening a little.
“You think? I mean, this house is huge. And
you own hotels everywhere. Why did you
have to do it right beside my room?” She
said, raising her voice.
“I apologized, gosh. Besides, it’s my house.
I’ll do what I want to do with it. If I want to
throw a d--n party, then I’ll do it.” He
snapped, his patience quickly running thin.
“Well then let me leave somewhere else.
You control a large part of real estate. Get
me another place. I never said I wanted to
live with you.” She complained.
“Abena. I’m not letting you out of my sight.”
He said.
“Why?” She screamed. “You could hardly
stand me, yet now you won’t let me go
anywhere else. Why? So you could keep me
awake while you bring girls over and f--k
them loud, not bothering about the fact that
I’m in the room beside you.”
He winced at her words and decided to
choose his words carefully. She was already
so angry, although that didn’t stop her from
angrily chomping on the akara.
“I’m just trying to look out for you. I don’t
want anything to happen to you.” He said
slowly.
“No. You don’t want anything to happen to
your baby.” She hissed, her tone was ice
cold.
